From Voices to Results - Voice of Customer Questions, Tools and Analysis

By: Robert Coppenhaver

Overview of this book

Voice of Customer (VoC) is one of the most popular forms of market research that combines both quantitative and qualitative methods. This book is about developing a deeper knowledge of your customers and understanding their articulated and unarticulated needs. Doing so requires engaging with customers in a meaningful and substantive way – something that is becoming more and more important with the rise of the increasingly connected world. This book gives you a framework to understand what products and features your customers need, or will need in the future. It provides the tools to conduct a VoC program and suggests how to take the customer input and turn it into successful products. This book also explains how to position and price your products in the market, and demonstrates ROI to the management team to get your product development funded. By the end of this book, you will have a thorough understanding of the relevant stages of a VoC project. It will show you how to devise an effective plan, direct the project to their objectives, and then how to collect the voice of the customer, with examples and templates for interviewing and surveying them.

Review logistics


Before we can begin to undertake our VoC program, we should review everything you need to prepare, and execute, your actual face-to-face interviews.

Before making your first customer visit, the following should already be in place:

  • Developed, in full, a customer visit calendar

  • Gave advance warning to customers if you need data they possess in their systems

  • Made sure you have a good introductory statement

  • Reviewed your interview guide and made sure you fully understand the questions, and if you have multiple teams, everyone else understood the questions as well

  • Practiced your questions and honed your interview skills

  • Team members assigned by functional roles in teams to get the most out of the interviews

  • Decided on team roles and best practices
